I don't have any criticism of EvP in terms of environment or service, both of those are great. This location is perfect to sit around and do work or relax. My only actual criticism of EvP is the coffee itself. I try and support local business as much as possible, however it is apparent that light roast in my mind is something completely different than of EvP; the last two times I've asked for "light" roast beans, I've received rather darkly roasted beans that taste like ashes.
This is unfortunate, because I otherwise love the place. If you don't drink black coffee or like dark roasts, I'd rate EvP 4 or 5 stars.
